I created the following user, within the mariaDB USER table.
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'dbadmin'@'example.ddns.net' IDENTIFIED BY 'Password_Here';
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL ON databaseName.* TO 'dbadmin'@'example.ddns.net';
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
I then performed a host lookup on the server (running the mariaDB).
$ host engelsen.ddns.net
example.ddns.net has address 12.34.56.78
However, when I attempt to connect to the mySQL database (from the remote client), I get the following error message:
ERROR 1130 (HY000): Host '12.34.56.78' is not allowed to connect to this MariaDB server.
Is there a reason why mariaDB (appears to be) incapable of performing a hostname lookup? Or is there a different reason why the access request is being rejected? Thanks!
